Current Events Another showcase or incompetence

Books drenched in water are usually unreadable because water affects the pages and ink. If they could be saved, then it was sheer luck. If I was a soldier and saw a lake of books, I'd leave them be, too, because I'd expect them to be unreadable.

Random books? Those books contained "everything Ohara has uncovered about world's secrets". Sakazuki even blew up a civilian ship so that no information gets leaked. Why would they not destroy books when they went through the trouble of destroying even buildings and trees?

Some people just aren't very smart. These low rank Marines didn't know any better. To them, they were just random books sitting in water, deteriorating. They didn't know the value in them. It's the top brass' fault for putting trust in the low ranks to finish the clean up. These dudes were looking for survivors, and passed the books right by.

Marines are just as if not more incompetent than Yonko crews.

As we saw in op papers can resist to magma proof with akainu couldnt melt one
Water is nothing

The Marines didn’t know why Ohara had to be destroyed, so they didn’t know that the books were important

Akainu made sure to kill all Schoolars no matter if they were kid or not.

 

[SkySanji]

Marines/WG are the most incompetent faction ever

They manage to make Big Mom look competent in comparison

Wouldn't be surprised if they end up destroying themselves before EOS

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Yeah, this is sloppy writing. No way the Gorosei wouldn't salt the earth and make sure nothing is left behind that could be valuable in understanding the Void Century.

Like, not one person made small talk or reported the mountain of books in the water to a superior officer?
